Imagine if someone was like “I believe in the abolition of all nation-states! People should be free to live where they want, practice what culture and speak what language they want, and so on, free of the confines of national identity!”

And you were like “great! I totally agree!”

And then they saw the “I support immigrants” pin on your jacket and went “whoa whoa whoa, what’s all this business about immigrants?”

And you go “well, just like you said, I want to abolish all nation-states, all borders. So I’m voicing my support for immigrants who cross those borders!”

And then they go “you claim to believe in the abolition of nations but you support immigrants? Don’t you realize that immigrants only reinforce national stereotypes? I mean, how can someone want to ‘become American’ or ‘become French’ when they recognize that categories like ‘American’ and ‘French’ are bullshit and regressive? I mean come on. Like I said, immigration only reinforces the idea of nations. If you were a real anti-nationalist, you would support banning all immigration! God, I can’t stand it when Mexicans or Chinese people claim to be American. Sorry honey, you were born a Mexican and you’ll always be Mexican xoxo. Plus, don’t you realize how many heinous crimes immigrants are responsible for?”

And you’re just like... “what?

This is the experience of talking to TERFs about gender.

I think my favorite bit i do with customers is when white women are like ‘i dont know what to getttttt’ and i hit them with the ‘you should be bad~ 😈’

Saying ‘you should be bad!!’ In like Gay Voice to a white woman at starbucks has like the same psychological impact as going like ‘who’s a good boy?’ To a dog. It makes them so excited in a really endearing way.

Obsessed with the idea that a modern Dracula reimagining could have Count Dracula tossing Jonathan’s smart phone out the window, declaring it to be a “foul bauble of man’s vanity” and the bit would still work. XD

you find your purpose at twenty three, in a dusty office, between two pieces of paper. saving the world, he tells you. that’s what all of this is about. a cause worthy of your time, isn’t it?

certainly not what you thought you’d be doing, but it feels right. feels good, to question, to find, to dismantle. but it demands of you.

you barter your soul first. tie it to hers, the girl of endless flames and destruction. and oh, how it burns, but you swallow it, if it means saving the world.

you throw yourself into your work. nights spent pouring over files, hunting down books. colleagues instead of friends. it’s necessary, if it means saving the world.

you stalk terrible things, and when the time is right, you make them feel the weight of your gaze. and maybe it’s bad, maybe it should make you feel one step further from human, but it doesn’t matter, if it means saving the world.

you know when the new head emerges, he’s not who he claims to be. and, well, that’ll be a problem, you know. but it is one file among many. another thing to keep an eye on, to watch for the right opportunity to strike. you can afford to wait for this one, if it means saving the world.

you can feel eyes on you, always. or maybe it’s just one. you’re not sure, honestly. all you can do is carve up your books and make your peace with it, if it means saving the world.

you tear an innocent person limb from limb and give him to the dirt. you lead the ever faithful servant, the one who questions everything and everyone but you, to the maze that never ends. you help the boy with soft edges escape, and you sit by his bed while he dies, and afterwards, you steal his skin and bind him away. layer after layer of blood on your hands, if it means saving the world.

if it means saving the world.

it doesn’t mean saving the world.

he finds you pouring gasoline over the very place you helped defend for so long. it’s a fine plan, really. there are people upstairs, sure, but chances are good they’ll make it out, and if they don’t, well. one more mark on your stone conscience, if it means destroying him.

three shots, and you fall.

one last bit of knowledge imparted on you before you go: the fear of death’s cold grip is not the dull pain in your chest, nor the encroaching darkness on the edges of your vision. it is watching the gasoline lap at your feet, brushing your fingertips against the flint, and knowing you have failed.

something very touching about listening to johnathan magnus archives sims trying to be kind. it always sounds like the verbal equivalent of someone picking up a rotten banana peel with a pair of salad tongs; he's uncomfortable and awkward and he'd clearly rather be doing anything else but It Has To Be Done And So He Will Do It.

into season 2 now and there’s something even more touching about listening to johnathan “on all levels but the physical I am a red string corkboard filled with frantically underlined names” sims trying to be kind, like he’s terrified and paranoid and probably even more abrasive and yet he has even more Quiet Moments Where He Makes The Deliberate Effort To Be Gentler

The Season 5 trailer was a hoot.

[id: art of martin blackwood and jonathan sims from the magnus archives. martin, a chubby freckled man with short hair, stands in the doorway holding a steaming cup of a tea. he knocks on the doorframe with a tentative smile. “knock knock,” he says. “…made you tea.” jon, a thin man with long hair, doesn’t look up. he says, clearly exhausted, “tea’s haunted…” martin pauses with one hand still mid-knock and a quizzical expression, staring straight ahead. “i-i’m sorry, what?” something many-legged begins to crawl out of the still-steaming teacup. cut to jon, head now raised, cocking a gun, looking extremely done. “tea’s fucking haunted martin.” end id]

S1 Jon Sims is so funny actually. "I don't want my assistant to get chopped into pieces but it has to be someone" "there's a perfectly natural explanation for a guy who claimed he was being haunted by a spider to be found dead and encased in spiderweb. Nothing supernatural at all." He spends several episodes really drilling in how terrible Martin is and then Martin puts worms on his desk and he's like "sleep in my bed." He doesn't believe in most supernatural stuff besides the evil books. Except that when confronted about this in a high stress situation he's like "it's all real actually. By the way are you a ghost?" He's fantastic he's a dick he's the best

If I was to write a Portal fanfic it would be like glados is sending one of her now grown up highly trained crows out into the world with a camera / speaker module attached because her database doesn’t have the final season of some stupid romantic drama show she was watching and she can’t exactly just get to it because the internet is down due to minor case of alien takeover of earth so she’s trying to see if she can scout out like a dvd store that might have it because she’s so bored and then she bumps into chell and is like you have got to be kidding me
